Chapter 691 Everywhere is an Enemy(2)_1
"You dare let a lowly slave attend to me," Lin Wanwan angrily trembled all over.
After giving his orders, Lin Ziyin, without another glance back, left with Hong Ying and a few others.
Those left behind in the room included Nurse Lu and a few other second-rate maids and servants.
"I indeed am a slave, but I’ve served the virtuous Consort. I am a first-rank female officer in the royal palace. Therefore, in punishing the Consort, I absolutely don’t disgrace her," Nurse Lu coldly scoffed in response, then rolled up her sleeves and held out her hand.
Soon after, a maid brought over a small paddle.
Tightly held, Nurse Lu began using it without another word, lecturing while she struck, "Consort referred to the Princess as her sister, but doesn’t submit to her, are you brazenly trying to usurp her? The Prince made it clear when the Princess moved into the Wang Residence, he forbid anyone from disturbing her. Did you take the Prince’s orders to heart, Consort? If the Princess handles the Consort, the Consort is actually forcing the Princess to go through a beauty first, where does that leave the Princess?"
Lin Wanwan was scared senseless. She hadn’t expected Nurse Lu to be someone assigned by the Virtuous Consort! Or a first-rank female officer?
More importantly, Chu Suifeng actually arranged such a person to be by Lin Ziyin’s side, showing just how deeply he truly cared for Lin Ziyin.
Today’s beating seems to have been dealt in vain. After understanding the underlying intricacies, Lin Wanwan was trembling out of fear. Having lived in the Wang Residence for a few years, and having battled the women in the backyard for so long, she was no longer an innocent little girl. How could anyone the Prince wishes to protect be bullied by others?
Even if her face was in pain, an even more profound pain was in her heart.
